Menopause is a journey, one filled with ups and downs, and for me, one of the biggest challenges has been managing hot flushes. Some days, I feel balanced, while others, I feel like I'm overheating from the inside out! Instead of opting for hormone replacement therapy (HRT), I made the decision to manage my symptoms naturally - with Self-Reiki.

Why I Chose Self-Reiki Over HRT

Every woman’s menopause experience is unique, and I respect every choice made to navigate this phase. For me, the decision to forgo HRT came from a deep desire to work with my body rather than against it. I wanted to explore natural healing methods, allowing my body to transition in a way that felt aligned with my beliefs and energy.

How Reiki Helps Me Manage Hot Flushes

Reiki is a powerful healing practice that works with the body’s energy flow. When I feel the heat rising, I use self-Reiki to:

• Soothe My Nervous System – Stress and anxiety can intensify hot flushes, so I focus on calming my energy, bringing deep relaxation to my body.

• Cool My Energy – By placing my hands over my heart and solar plexus, I channel Reiki’s cooling energy to balance my internal heat.

• Ground Myself Emotionally – Menopause can feel like an emotional rollercoaster, and Reiki helps me stay present and connected to myself.

• Improve Sleep – Hot flushes can disrupt sleep, but practicing Reiki before bed helps me rest more peacefully.

My Daily Self-Reiki Routine

I incorporate Reiki into my daily life in simple ways:

1. Morning Reiki Practice – I begin my day by placing my hands on my heart and setting the intention for balance and ease.

2. Cooling Hand Placements – Whenever a hot flush strikes, I focus Reiki energy on my head, neck, and chest to encourage a cooling sensation.

3. Evening Wind-Down – Before bed, I do a full-body Reiki session to relax my mind and body for restful sleep.

Natural Healing & Menopause: Finding What Works for You

Every woman’s menopause journey is different, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you choose HRT, natural remedies, or a combination of both, the most important thing is to honour your body’s needs. Reiki has been my guiding light, helping me navigate this transition with more grace and ease.
